According to Al Jazeera, former US Secretary of State John Kerry has said, “Iran has a new sense of power by virtue of having withstood the military assault that has taken place to date”.

Kerry, a Democrat who held the role between 2013 and 2017, was also the lead negotiator in a now-moribund nuclear deal that the US and other world powers signed with Iran in 2015.

Speaking to MS Now, Kerry warns US negotiators about their approach in talks with Iran.

“Iran knows and understands and uses asymmetrical warfare as effectively as anyone on the planet, and that’s what we’ve seen play out here,” he explains.
